One of the simple machines; a wheel with a grooved rim in which a pulled rope or chain will lift an object (more useful when two or more pulleys are used together, as in a block and tackle arrangement, such that a small force moving through a greater distance can exert a larger force through a smaller distance).
To raise or lift by means of a pulley.
A wheel having a groove in the rim for a rope to work in, and set in a block, mast, or similar; the wheel of a pulley.
a wheel with a grooved rim around which a cord passes, which acts to change the direction of a force applied to the cord and is used to raise heavy weights.
a wheel or drum fixed on a shaft and turned by a belt, used for the application or transmission of power.
hoist with a pulley
another term for sheaf (verb)
a wheel with a groove for a rope to run on, as in a pulley block.
A wheel with a broad rim, or grooved rim, for transmitting power from, or imparting power to, the different parts of machinery, or for changing the direction of motion, by means of a belt, cord, rope, or chain.
To raise or lift by means of a pulley.
A wheel having a groove in the rim for a rope to work in, and set in a block, mast, or the like; the wheel of a pulley.
To gather and bind into a sheaf or sheaves; hence, to collect.
